AWS has the most services and more features within those services, than any other cloud provider–from infrastructure technologies like compute, storage, and databases–to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things. AWS Platform is the glue that holds the AWS ecosystem together. Whether its Identity features such as access management and sign on, cryptography, console, builder & developer tools, and even projects like automating all of our contractual billing systems, AWS Platform is always innovating with the customer in mind. The AWS Platform team sustains over 750 million transactions per second.

About the Team. Would you like to join the team that protects the global AWS platform from fraud? Do you enjoy thinking like a fraudster and using your technical skills to help detect & mitigate AWS accounts from being compromised? If so, AWS Fraud Prevention has an exciting opportunity for you.

The AWS Fraud Prevention Compromise vertical is responsible for detecting & mitigating AWS account compromise. You’ll be part of a team of Data Scientists, Investigations Analysts, and Technical & non-Technical Program Managers. The team’s goal is to identify and neutralize fraudsters from compromising AWS customers’ accounts.

About the Role. As a Data Scientist, you will work directly with Business Analysts and Software Development Engineers to monitor the flavor/ trend of compromise on AWS worldwide and design appropriate solutions to respond in a collaborative environment. There are no walls, and success is determined by your ability to dive deep, and understand the subtle demands new and complex services will place upon systems and teams. As a Data Scientist your responsibilities will include:
· Protecting AWS customers and the AWS business from compromise actors.
· Manage your own process: identify and execute on high impact projects, triage external requests, and make sure you bring projects to conclusion in time for the results to be useful.
· Apply state-of-the-art Machine Learning methods to large amounts of data from different sources to build and productionalize fraud prevention, detection and mitigation solutions.
· Keep up with and contribute to the progress of the Amazon and broader ML research communities in the context of fraud prevention.
· Deep dive on the problems using SQL and scripting languages like Python/R to drive short term and long term solutions leveraging Statistical Analysis.
· Analyze data (past customer behavior, sales inputs, and other sources) to figure out trends, create compromise prevention and mitigation solutions and output reports with clear recommendations.
· Collaborate closely with the development team to recommend and build innovations based on Data Science.
· Handle escalations from AWS Management for fraud, compromise and related activities.
· Be the primary point of contact during compromise outbreaks – including analyses to identify and apply responses.
· Collaborate in a fast paced environment with multiple teams and customers in a dynamic entrepreneurial organization.
